Description
Excerpts from The Agency and Hill:
""
"Looking back over the Agency's early history, it is
remarkable how often the idea of a joint committee on
intelligence was offered up in Congress as the panacea
to the existing oversight arrangements."
"The Agency's fortunes on Capitol Hill to some degree this is a study of the CIA's relationship with Congress.
It encompasses the period from the creation of the
Agency until 2004--the era of the DCIs.
have always been a function of how the committees
with responsbility for the Agency perceived the DCI:
the greater the level of trust, the greater the level of
comfort in terms of how the Agency is operating. But
especially during the early years, when so much of the
interaction between the Agency and the Congress was
informal and personal, how the DCI was perceived on
the Hill was a key factor in setting the terms of the relationship.""
